It may be a fail in accuracy, but what makes you think it isn't a success in the general public, which isn't represented on this forum?
It was powerful to read the letter to the editor in this week's World, Thursday I think, from a former restauranteur who was present at the inspection at Joe Momma's and whose account differs from the TPD, but not enough to counter the bad PR that Blake got from the local tv stations.
I'm sure Blake knows that this is part of the cycle the press follows of building up people, events, and organizations till they peak in positive acceptance....then studiously tearing them down with the same tactics. The press is like bookies. They make money from the process. They don't care who wins.
There's no such thing as 'bad' PR. The Police handled this poorly. Blake probably could have handled it better, but in this instance, after this and listening to the radio interview he did, I tend to side with him.
